Laura | 153 comments For the tagged family task for Captain Spaulding, will you accept variations?

Nanny for the Bossholes is tagged Family is Everything and it's tagged Family Adopt Kids or Found Family. The Bossholes in question are all the kid's uncles, so it is blood family.

Trisha | 809 comments I wanted to check if I could use a page count.

Book: Nothing Can Hurt You Now by Simone Campos (my version/Kindle)
Nothing Can Hurt You Now by Simone Campos - most popular on goodreads

I read the Kindle version - which shows 188 pages
most popular copy is 192 pages and not kindle

The task is: 18 in page count

Am I okay to claim the task with the version I read?

Laura | 153 comments Donna, for JoJo the Klownzilla, do we each need to read a book with all the letters of CAGE in the title, or just one of us?

Laura | 153 comments Also, I can't remember. Do we have to finish the CAGE book before we finish the spell-out books. And finish the spell-out books before we finish the chain tasks?

And one more. We don't have enough lines on our spreadsheet to complete all the JoJo tasks.

Cage & spellout books should be done BEFORE the chains.

Per google... A sky lantern, also known as an aerial luminaire, is a miniature, unmanned hot air balloon that relies on an open flame to heat the air inside the lantern with the intention of causing it to lift into the atmosphere.

With that in mind, I am making the official ruling that a Japanese sky lantern is, in fact, a balloon. You may use it.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were out of rows. I added the option, but without rows, it didn't matter. You have new rows now.

Yes, the letters can be a combination of the two. You have all the letters of SPAWN between the title and the series name.

message 238: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 367 comments Donna, for character has a mental disability... would you accept Hello Stranger where the mc suffers from face blindness? I think it would be classified as a mental disorder,from wikipedia: Prosopagnosia,[2] also known as face blindness,[3] is a cognitive disorder of face perception in which the ability to recognize familiar faces, including one's own face (self-recognition), is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing (e.g., object discrimination) and intellectual functioning (e.g., decision-making) remain intact. The term originally referred to a condition following acute brain damage (acquired prosopagnosia), but a congenital or developmental form of the disorder also exists


message 239: by Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 7467 comments Mod
Yes, I will accept it. It is a neurological disorder.

Candy can be a standalone dessert, or it can be incorporated into other desserts like ice cream or pastries.

Thanks. I'll take a look now. I usually do check before I post, just forgot to this time.

LaurLa | 367 comments Hey Donna - I have some questions about the red, green and white cover color task. Do any of the below qualify? I know you think we're over-thinking but I guess we just can't help it!! 😁


This is all green except for text which you technically allowed, but I just wanted to double check because, well... because?
11 Bodies Moving On (Body Movers, #11) by Stephanie Bond

Or does this one have too much black mixed in the feathers?
Scandalous Virtue (The Saint of Seven Dials, #0) by Brenda Hiatt

Or this one with a color wash over everything - is it red enought?
Shadowboxer (Tapped Out, #1) by Cari Quinn
